its diabetes fun time!

party at the doctor tomorrow. times for labs to see if I have started dying yet.

I always get grumpy every three months when this time nears.

it pisses me off that I have to go do this. I am pretty upbeat about diabetes all the time, except this time.

bunch of ****.

Yannah,

It can be a pain, but it's only a short time out of your day and worth it to stay healthy. I'm sure you'll do fine with the tests/results.

I actually look forward to the A1c test day, as I get the bloods drawn in the morning and then have an A1c test day treat that evening for dinner - eat something I normally avoid. I see it as a reward for working hard.

its all the other tests that freak me out. I get the whole bunch tomorrow, cholesterol will be interesting. other than that. the whole kidney function liver function thing. can't control those results so much. dread them.
